Federal officials have filed a civil complaint in Las Vegas against St. George residents accused of falsely billing consumers' credit cards for millions of dollars in services the consumers had not requested.

The Federal Trade Commission complaint alleges Ideal Financial Solutions, a Nevada company that established a call center in St. George to handle customer complaints, used an intricate web of ever-changing companies to target the credit cards and bank accounts of people who had applied for payday loans. It was initially filed under seal last month.
